Thorncastle Street flats

Thorncastle Street flats is a notable social housing complex in Ringsend, Dublin, designed by architect Herbert George Simms in the 1930s. Characterized by its modernist architectural style, the complex features three blocks of flats, with the southernmost block showcasing the most decorative elements. Located along the picturesque banks of the River Dodder, near its confluence with the Grand Canal Docks and Liffey Estuary, the site is steeped in history, named after The O'Rahilly and reflecting the legacy of the Fitzwilliam family since the 1500s.
